Smart Project Recommendations on SciStarter
With thousands of projects listed on SciStarter, a main challenge can be finding the right project, one that really suits your needs and your interests. After meeting at a workshop on the Open Science of Learning hosting by CRI, Kobi Gal, a leading expert in human-centered artificial intelligence, and Darlene Cavalier, the founder of SciStarter, collaborated (with support from NESTA, a UK-based innovation foundation) to create a smart recommendation system to help SciStarter users find the right project.
In a new podcast episode, Kobi and Na’ama Dayan, a graduate student at Ben Gurion University and a member of Kobi Gal’s research team, chat with Caroline Nickerson from the SciStarter team about the new system and how YOU can help us test it over the next few weeks. A transcript is available here.
